A shallow foundation measuring 1.75 mx 1.75 m is to be constructed over a layer of sand. Given: D,=1 m; Ngo is generally increasing with depth; No in the depth of stress influence = 10; q = 120 kN/m. The sand is normally consolidated. Estimate the elastic settlement of the foundation. Use the Burland and Burbidge method.
